I get all the meme-tech criticism and just get a 90's MTB, but at the end of the day, the only drawback is the price of entry and the price of maintenance. I've owned a 90's MTB and a modern MTB, they were shit for my riding habits and a road bite makes little sense where I live. Gravel fixes all those problems and the only issue is just some more money to maintain it, like not going to the local hack bike mechanic, rather a proper store where they treat you like a kind and it's just a few buck more.
